Make-Up Artist Mimi Choi Is The Stuff Of Nightmares

Vancouver-based artist Mimi Choi is no stranger to the hellish, unsettling world of make-up art. From melting her face to slicing her head in half using only her make-up kit, Choi’s distressing, albeit masterful, optical illusions have been disturbing audiences worldwide, pulling no punches on a visceral level while subjecting her followers to distressing, surrealist imagery, that which can be neither unseen nor forgotten.

Having struggled in the past with panic attacks and anxiety, Mimi Choi has spoken about the liberation derived from imagination in her artwork. She states: “My face is a blank canvas where I can practise my art.”
